A Glasgow university lecturer is urging people not to forget about the Ukraine conflict by hosting a fundraiser.

Dr Monika McNeill, international lead for the Department of Psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University, has already raised over £25,000 since March to buy electricity generators and medical supplies.

Now she is asking students, staff and members of the public to a free-entry concert at the student union to continue the plight.

She said: "There is naturally less attention to what's happening in Ukraine but they still need our help.

"This week the Russian army has been intensively bombarding power stations and heat plants, therefore whole regions have power shortages. That's why it is an urgent appeal.

"The money we raise from this event will help pay for electricity generators and medical equipment for a hospital in Drohobych, Ukraine, specialising in treating war victims."

The event, called They Still Need Our Hand, will feature live music from bands such as The Fabulous Cruel Shoes, D-Dad and Victor Kennedy.

It will be held on Friday, October 28 from 7pm to 11pm at the Students' Association Re: Union Bar.

A suggested donation of £5 and £2 for students is advised. 

Dr McNeill added: "Please come along and join us. It will be a great night and the bands are fantastic.

"The musicians have all given their time for free and are travelling to Glasgow out of their own pockets. They are incredibly generous.

"The psychology department staff and students have helped me organise this event and I cannot thank them enough for their support.

"The Students' Association has also been a great support in providing a perfect venue."
